he has been given good news
And he fails that corrupts it!
With shame does he hide himself from his people, because of the bad news he has had! Shall he retain it on (sufferance and) contempt, or bury it in the dust? Ah! what an evil (choice) they decide on?
凡戕害自己的性灵者,必定失败。
他为这个噩耗而不与宗族会面,他多方考虑:究竟是忍辱保留她呢?还是把她活埋在土里呢?真的,他们的判断真恶劣。
